I've found the creator of the 'cute bee', an Indonesian graphic designer named Bayu Prahara.

He has also designed several fonts, published on dafont.

Fortunately, tjinc's keen eye spotted the parenthesis I had missed.
Either my speed reading was too fast, or my grey cells "are greying" somewhat.

(1) EXPLANATION why the artist's name is surrounded with square brackets
In the standard settings of the Artists view (displaying tag Title),
the Artist's name is shown between square brackets when it differs from the Album Artist.
Side note:
in the pictures you posted, "[Gábor Szabó]" is displayed since "Gábor Szabó" is not the same as "Gabor Szabo" for MusicBee.
(2) SOLUTION: if you wish another layout, you can define a virtual tag containing exactly what you wish to display,
and use it in the Artists view instead of Title.
STEPS:
If you are not familiar with the process:

Shouldn't it always play the album in order?

Bug Reports / [SOLVED] Double-clicking on a track triggers inconsistent actions

Double-clicking on a track triggers inconsistent actions, when these two conditions are met:
Expected behaviour
When double-clicking on a track:
Incorrect behaviour
If only some audio files within the album are split up with cue sheets,
when double-clicking on a track:
Examples
Highlighting colours used for expected and unexpected behaviour.
@Steven, I can PM you a link to the albums used as examples below, or run a debug version.
The 2 albums together weigh 300 MB, but selected tracks would suffice for testing purposes.
Double-clicking on a track triggers inconsistent actions, when these two conditions are met:
- Play Now action is set to clear list and play album only
(in the Preferences -> Now Playing -> playing tracks list). - in the album, only some tracks bear a cue sheet.
Expected behaviour
When double-clicking on a track:
- the whole album is placed in the Now Playing list
- the playing starts from the double-clicked track
- when there is no cue sheet (1 file <=> 1 track)
- when the album consists of 1 audio file split up with a cue sheet
Incorrect behaviour
If only some audio files within the album are split up with cue sheets,
when double-clicking on a track:
- only a part of the album is placed in the Now Playing list
- sometimes the playing starts from the 1st track of the 1st cue sheet of the album

Questions / Re: Division cue file.
« on: July 02, 2024, 09:30:38 PM »I can't understand why!!!It's a mystery to me too.
As it seems, it happens with this combination of factors:
* "Play Now action" is set to "clear list and play album only"
* only a part of the album is concerned by the cue sheet
EDIT: + or there are several cue sheets for the album.
Well done!

Questions / Re: Division cue file.
« on: July 02, 2024, 10:29:31 AM »This does not work either. The only doubt is the index of tracks 8-9-10-11 (2-3-4-5) which I set to zero because they are separate files from the first one. I don't think track 8 (2) should be told to start at 23 minutes and 44 seconds.CodePERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
TITLE "Atom Heat Mother"
...
TRACK 13 AUDIO
TITLE "Morning Glory"
REM tracciaST "5c"
PERFORMER "Pink FLoyd"
INDEX 01 07:45:00
If the .CUE above is supposed to be a single file, it can't work.
Just follow the steps below, where you keep five .MP3, and have a .CUE sheet for two of them.
FILENAMES:
Let's suppose you have for now the following audio files:
01 - Atom Heart Mother.mp3
02 - If.mp3
03 - Summer '68.mp3
04 - Fat Old Sun.mp3
05 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.mp3
STEPS:
- Update tag "Track#" in the .mp3 files as follows:
- Track#=01 for "01 - Atom Heart Mother.mp3"
- Track#=08 for "02 - If.mp3"
- Track#=09 for "03 - Summer '68.mp3"
- Track#=10 for "04 - Fat Old Sun.mp3"
- Track#=11 for "05 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.mp3" - Create "01 - Atom Heart Mother.cue", with the content given below.
- Create "05 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.cue", with the content given below.
- Rescan you album.
01 - Atom Heart Mother.cue
Code
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother"
FILE "01 - Atom Heart Mother.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (a) Father's Shout"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (b) Breast Milky"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 02:50:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (c) Mother Fore"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 05:23:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (d) Funky Dung"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 10:13:00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (e) Mind Your Throats Please (Part 1)"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 15:28:00
TRACK 06 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (f) Mind Your Throats Please (Part 2)"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 17:42:00
TRACK 07 AUDIO
TITLE "Atom Heart Mother - (g) Remergence"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 19:12:0005 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.cue
Code
TITLE "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast"
FILE "05 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.mp3" MP3
TRACK 11 AUDIO
TITLE "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast - (a) Rise and Shine"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 12 AUDIO
TITLE "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast - (b) Sunny Side Up"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 03:33:00
TRACK 13 AUDIO
TITLE "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast - (c) Morning Glory"
PERFORMER "Pink Floyd"
INDEX 01 07:45:00In the track titles, you can remove the prefixes "Atom Heart Mother - " and "Atom Heart Mother - " if you store the suite names in another tag (that will be shown as subgrouping header) in 01 - Atom Heart Mother.mp3 and 05 - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.mp3.

Questions / Re: Division cue file.
« on: July 02, 2024, 07:49:48 AM »
The problem in your case is linked with the track numbering.
Each "TRACK (nr.) AUDIO" line within a .CUE file defines a track with track number (nr.) for the concerned album.
Thus, as you have defined your two .CUE files, you end up having:
In this case:
Just to be sure: a .CUE sheet must include the filename at the beginning,
but you have probably not included that part in your post.
(See Wikipedia in EN and IT, or more details on HydrogenAudio (EN)).
How did you manage to display the subtrack IDs (1a -> 1f, and 5a -> 5c),
since REM clauses are ignored by MusicBee?
For the sake of legibility, it is best to indent the .CUE sheet lines (as in the Wikipedia examples), but it is not mandatory.
Each "TRACK (nr.) AUDIO" line within a .CUE file defines a track with track number (nr.) for the concerned album.
Thus, as you have defined your two .CUE files, you end up having:
- Several tracks with nr. 1:
- Father's Shout (1a in your picture)
- Rise and Sunshine (5a in your picture) - Several tracks with nr. 2:
- Breast Milky
- If
- Sunny Side Up - Several tracks with nr. 3:
- Mother Fore
- Summer '68
- Morning Glory - etc.
In this case:
- The .CUE sheet for "Atom Heart Mother" (originally track 1) will contain tracks 01 -> 07
- "If" becomes track 8
- "Summer '68" becomes track 9
- "Fat Old Sun" becomes track 10
- The .CUE sheet for "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" will contain tracks 11 -> 13.

Fox,
How many .mp3 files do you have for your album?
* One .mp3 for each track, plus a .cue sheet for track 1, and another for track 5?
* Or one big .mp3 for the whole album, and one .cue sheet?

Questions / Re: AutoDJ -> Playlist
« on: June 26, 2024, 09:19:07 AM »
In the AutoDJ tab, a list made with the "Preview" button cannot be exported directly,
but if you double-click on its first row,
the list will be taken as new Now Playing list, which you can then save to a playlist as Mayibongwe suggested.
